Here's an actual question that I don't really have the answer to despite considering myself pretty good with the airbrush.
When I have a camo pattern to paint instead of a single color, I have tried to use preshading, and then only paint the areas that are supposed to have that color, then mask off and paint the other colors. That has generally led to some accidents where bits of plane are still just primed and preshaded.
Then I tried to mask off the areas that I wasn't going to paint, leaving them as primed and preshaded, but that obviously leads you to have to mask off twice which is a shitton of work.
Now I've switched to just painting the entire thing like pic related, then masking off and preshading on top of the other color again and then painting the next color. Seems alright but at the same time a bit annoying to possibly paint 3-4 times the amount of paint that's "really" needed.
Does anyone have any better ways? Am I missing something here?
